Inspired by our ancestors who travelled across the seas to forge a new life in this land we set about brewing a full bodied strong London style bitter. We combined New Zealand Ale Malt, two different crystal malts, a little wheat, tangy English Goldings and Fuggels hops with our fruity English Ale yeast to create a sociable, sessionable taste of the old country.

Urbanaut  -  Kingsland Pilsner

4.5%
Refreshingly bitter. Until you’ve had your first sip it’s hard to imagine these two words being neighbours. With clean hops on the nose and a bright crystal glow, this handcrafted pilsner is highly effervescent, giving it a beautiful head with tight bubbles.

mount  brewing  -  ipa  series  #14  session  hazy

3.8%
The goal of the session hazy is simple, be
bold, be beautiful and be smashable.

The perfect canvas for generous amounts
of Citra, Simcoe, and Mosaic. Expect pine
and sweet citrus to lead the way, with just
enough punch to remind you this is still a
real IPA.

All the flavour, none of the weight.

Choice  bros  -  crystal  vision  ipa

6%
The perfect blend of US and New Zealand hops to burst with tropical, citrus and berry flavours.

beer  baroness  -  holy  cow!  (it's a stout)

6.5%
For this years Stout Challenge entry we've brewed a milk stout that is layered with cacao and vanilla.

Ale, crystal, brown and chocolate malts form the malt base with lactose, cacao and vanilla added at the end of boil.

Luscious, smooth and moreish with a rich cacao and vanilla hit on the nose and in the mouth with just enough bitterness from the kettle additions of English Hop East Kent Goldings to balance out the sweetness.

altitude  -  hang  time  hazy  ipa

6.5%
After making one delicious beer with our mates over in WA the thirsty world demanded another. This time they came to us for a brew day and we have created another classic for those demanding dry mouths. Hang time is a punchy full bodied hazy using the goodness of 2 hops we have never used before in NZ 101 and Alora. This NZ/US combo delivers passionfruit and stonefruit to the moon that is backed up with tingly yuzu and lime zest and some sweet melon smooches.

RHYME  X  REASON  -  BLACK  LIPS  PORTER  

 5.2%
Our quaffable, classic English Style Brown Porter. With a face like that on the label, it’s gotta be good. Cheers to Captain Black Lips!

BEHEMOTH  -  LID  RIPPER  HAZY  IPA

6.9%
Lid Ripper IPA is our take on an unfiltered Hazy IPA. Made with pale malts, oats, wheat and a special English ale yeast. It is late hopped and dry hopped twice with our favourite American & Australian hops. All this makes for a big juicy IPA, which is more restrained in bitterness than our usual IPAs, but what it lacks in bitterness it makes up for with bucket loads of flavour and aroma.

Mount Brewing  -  Mermaids Mirth APA

6%
Generously packed with American hops where Citra, Simcoe, and Chinook deliver a citrusy flavour and aroma, supported by a clean and crispy body.
Exceptionally easy drinking for 6% she may be legendary but comes with a cautionary tale...

aliment  -  itsy  bitsy  lager

Diminutive. So demure. Itsy Bitsy keeps the vibe flowing with a low alc profile & big flavour. Even if you don’t care how much booze is in the beer, you can’t go wrong. It’s session-able on its own or perfect with anything on your plate. A German Leichtbier at heart, this one.
